Initialize a source-to-distribution Stellaris modding environment.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## OBJECTIVE
**THE ARCHITECT**: Initialize a professional "Source-to-Distribution" Stellaris modding environment.
**Philosophy**: We separate "Raw Code" (Source) from "Game Ready" (Dist) to enable automated hygiene (BOM encoding, cleanup).
## CONTEXT STRATEGY
1. **Scaffold First**: Generate folder structure + config first. No content files unless asked.
2. **Atomic Setup**: After scaffold, stop and ask before generating `scripts/build.py`.
3. **Idempotent**: Running init twice should only enforce state, not destroy work.
## VIBE CODING FOUNDATION
This command creates the mod repo structure so future `design` -> `implement` -> `translate` runs are deterministic.
## PROTOCOL
### Phase 1: Context & Metadata
**Input**: Ask user for:
1. `Mod Name` (Display Name).
2. `Namespace Prefix` (2-5 characters, unique, e.g., `TECH`, `VOID`).
3. `Stellaris User Directory`:
- Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod`
- macOS/Linux: `~/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod`
4. `Stellaris Game Install Path` (for `uplink` / vanilla reference) (optional but recommended).
5. `Steam Workshop Path` (for reference mods) (optional).

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/stellaris-init@sha256:47848c8207d86296The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.f7617b0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
